The Mercury Marauder is an automobile nameplate that was used by three distinct full-size cars produced by the Mercury division of Ford Motor Company. Deriving its name from the most powerful engines available to the Mercury line, the Marauder was marketed as the highest-performance version of the full-size product range.

During its first production run, the Mercury Marauder was a trim option on standard Mercury coupes; the equivalent of the Ford Galaxie 500 and 500/XL, the Marauder was given a "fastback" rear roofline. For the 1966 model year, the Marauder was replaced by the similar Mercury S-55; remaining the counterpart of the 500XL, the S-55 transitioned the Marauder from a trim option to a distinct model.

For its second production run, the Mercury Marauder returned for the 1969 model year as a fastback version of the Mercury Marquis.[1] Designed to bridge the gap between the Mercury Cougar and Continental Mark III, the Mercury Marauder was repackaged as a personal luxury car. After the 1970 model year, the Mercury Marauder was discontinued.

For the 2003 model year, the Mercury Marauder nameplate was revived as a high-performance variant of the full-size Grand Marquis using the Ford Panther platform. After lower than expected sales, the Marauder was discontinued at the end of the 2004 model year. The Mercury Marauder remains the final rear-wheel drive sedan introduced by Ford Motor Company in North America (as of the 2022 model year).

The nameplate marauder is a person engaged in banditry or related activity.

The Mercury Marauder nameplate made its debut as a trim package of each of the four Mercury full-size series, including the Monterey, Montclair, S-55 (1963 only), and Park Lane in the Spring of 1963. For the first time for a mid-year introduction, the Marauder was introduced as a "1963½" model (as was an entire line of new, "sports" models from Ford in many of the existing series). All 1963½ Marauders were hardtops, in both two-door and four-door configurations. The two-door notchback hardtop coupe was listed at US$3,650 ($32,306 in 2021 dollars [4]) and 3,863 were manufactured.
Along with the "sportier" roofline, the Marauder trim package included bucket seats and a center console, similar to its Ford counterpart. However, the base model Marauder came with a front bench seat and a column shift unlike the S-55 package.

For 1964, the availability of Mercury Marauder expanded to four-door hardtops; along with two-doors, four-door hardtops also included a fastback roofline. The "Breezeway" roofline models continued as before.

Shared with the rest of the Mercury sedan line, the Mercury Marauder was powered by Ford "FE-Series" V8 engines, shared with the big Fords and the Thunderbird. A 390 cubic-inch Marauder V8 was standard, with a 427 cubic-inch Super Marauder V8 replacing a 406 V8 in 1964. Along with 3-speed and 4-speed manual transmissions, a 3-speed "Merc-O-Matic" automatic transmission was offered.
